What does the BRZ's WRB really look like?

I'd have to second this. There are so many WRB everywhere I go.

Lol yeah, there have been multiple threads where people have no idea what this color looks like. It's been on every WRX in existence for the past 10 years, you've gotta be living under a rock to have never seen one.

Any more photos of WRB or any other BRZs?

I've also seen DGM and SSM BRZs in person but didn't take pictures because I didn't have my DSLR with me. Besides I was more interested with the one I ordered - WRBP.

The close-up shows the absence of metallic particles found in WR Blue MICA but not in WR Blue PEARL. I think WRB-Pearl was first introduced with BRZ. Other subies have WRB-Mica.

sexy, but jesus did they ever screw us on those exhaust tips. I understand theres a regulation about tips that protrude outside the rear bumper, but why'd they have to make them so thin too... Just shorten them and leave them the same width...

Someone find a replacement tip ASAP!

I think WRB Mica was on the GC8 WRXs, I'm pretty sure all U.S. Subarus in WRB got the pearl. Could be wrong though, but I haven't heard anybody mention WRB Mica in a long time.

The original concept was WRB II but that color didn't make it to production. The current WRX and the BRZ use the same paint color.

From everything I can find it seems that Mica = Pearl in the US market and no one knows why.

Having the Pleasure of Owning one myself, I can tell you that the World Rally Blue always shows up LIGHTER in photos than it truly is. My WRX is VERY metallic..sometimes there's almost hint of violet in it under the right light. Oh, and Post #5, I can say those Photos have spot on Color Accuracy for what the WRB truly is.

As for the WRB Pearl and WRB Mica. The Mica is for Europe and Japan, Here I honestly hear Both names listed randomly, Seems US calls it MICA, Canada calls it pearl. They have the SAME color code "02C", the BRZ as well.

Subaru has their "trademark" blue, But in reality, they've got a few blues. I swear everytime I see a WRB in person, each one looks a little different than the last..lol

WRB Pearl, WRB Mica, a few Versions of Sonic Blue , 555 blue+blue ridge pearl (both darker but similar to each other) . All of them are Considered trademark subaru blue
